Convicted Book Review

This book is written by Jameel Mcgee & Andrew Collins. It's a true tale of two men that find truth and purpose in faith while serving a prison sentence. It was a good read, very well written and easy for the reader to follow. I didn't have any issue following the "story line" and was able to read it quickly.

"Racial tensions had long simmered in Benton Harbor, a small city on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan, before the day a white narcotics officer--more focused on arrests than justice—set his sights on an innocent black man. But when officer Andrew Collins framed Jameel McGee for possession of crack cocaine, the surprising result was not a race riot but a transformative journey for both men. Falsely convicted, McGee spent three years in federal prison. Collins also went to prison a few years later for falsifying police reports. While behind bars, the faith of both men deepened. But the story took its most unexpected turn once they were released--when their lives collided again in a moment brimming with mistrust and anger. The two were on a collision course—not to violence—but forgiveness.

As current as today’s headlines, this explosive true story reveals how these radically conflicted men chose to let go of fear and a thirst for revenge to pursue reconciliation for themselves, their community, and our racially divided nation."

Skin Alley sent me an anti acne pillowcase to review, and I must admit I love it! Sleeping on this pillowcase offers many benefits for your skin, not to mention how comfortable it is to sleep on. It is a revolutionary new pillowcase that is infused with natural acne medications to help fight acne while you sleep. It is made from bamboo fibers and infused with natural oils to help fight acne. All this, and it's machine washable!

Recently I had the chance to try Bistro MD, a weight loss delivery program that offers delicious food to help you lose weight. I was given one meal for breakfast, lunch & dinner for a complete days worth of meals. Berry Crepes for breakfast, Salmon for lunch and Cheese Ravioli for dinner. They all tasted amazing! If I didn't know they were healthy before eating them, I wouldn't have known it during, because they don't taste like they are lacking anything! You know how sometimes "healthy" foods don't really have a flavor??? Not with these, they were all delicious!
There are no chemicals, hormones or unnecessary fillers or additives in these meals. That is important when looking for a healthy food regimen, and I couldnt' be more satisfied with this company and their food.
My favorite was the cheese ravioli's, although they were all great:

The ravioli was so great, and cheesy! The sauce was amazing, and it all tasted great. The string beens were even …
